Adaaran Select Meedhupparu - All Inclusive

Great snorkeling and greenery on site. Felt like we were swimming in an aquarium. Staff was very pleasant and helpful. Food was great at premium all-inclusive level. A great family vacation. Male airport experience was a bummer. Had to spend 3 hours there on arrival missing valuable beach time. Hotel had us at Male airport 4 hours before departure, one hour before Singapore Airlines counter even opened. Would have preferred more beach time and less airport time. This didn’t seem to be a priority for the hotel.

so this being the first all inclusive holiday ive ever been on, i was pleasently surprised. all inclusive means buffet dinner every night- and i thought i woukd get bored of it; however they have different themes every night the barbeque night was my favourite! with barbeequed chicked serfved just away from the main resturaunt on the sand. they always had a local/traditional option or two in the main resturaunt which were quite delicious! if you fancy a change however there are lots of other options available at extra cost including private dining, water villa dining, beach barbeque with fresh fish/shellfish or even a romantic lobster dinner. there is a seperate resturaunt - cafe mass which offers an ala carte menu which is ok - and of all the bars on the island be sure to visit sunrise bar. it is the most out of the way, and so the least busy, but right on the sea, and there is a perfect breeze there always. i would reccomend that your villa is either numbered 300 upwards or 178 downwards then the beach outside your villa will be majical, and youve. no need for a daily walk to the main beach by the pool, you can just use your own bit of beach as if it were your own! we stayed in 209 and the beach here was difficult to walk on as it was littered with broken bits of coral. not that we tried, but i heard from other guests that this was were the best snorkeling was to be had, and we did see rays, and baby sharks whikst walking home along our beach.
